Walter Stowe Bright McLaren, radical
member for the crown division of Cheshire.
resumed the debate in the Commons this
afternoon on the Parnell amendment to the
address in reply to the Queens speech. He
defended the National Leagues ''plan of

Ri. Hon. Sir Edward George Clark, solic-

repute to be illegal and conspiracy. The
government would, he said, maintain law
and order in Ireland. They would do this if
possible by the operation of the ordinary law
and if this failed then Parliament would be
asked TO amend it, and if Parliament refused
to do that the government would have others
to administer the affairs of the country.

We have received a circular issued
under the auspices of the Southwestern
Louisiana Land Company, giving a
description of sThe Prairie Region of
Southwestern Louisiana including it's
topography, soil, products, prices of
lands, inducements to immigrants to
seek homes in this new "garden of
Eden," and giving map of the new
parish of Acadia and the proposed To-
cation OF the town, christened Crow
ley" This circular and map is a vol
ume expressed in a few words, giving
all the information that could be asked
by immigrants or persons abroad who
may propose to settle in any of the par
ishes known as Southwestern Louisi-
ana. 1t, however, more particularly
discusses the advantages of " Acadia,"
and the claims Of Crowley" as the
geographical centre with its prospects
of being the parish site of Acadia in the
future. While we express no prefer
ence, nor propose to discuss the ques-
tion of the future seat of government of
our " daughter parish of Acadia yet
we must say that Crowley bids fair to
be strong competitor for the seat.
